Natural Stone Solutions for Housebuilders
When the houses you build shape lives and communities, your choice of material matters.
We understand that as responsible housebuilders, you’re committed to creating sustainable developments in cost-effective and environmentally friendly ways. We’re here to help you do that.
We were delighted to have been able to source natural materials, like those provided by Stamford Stone, to ensure we met with all local authority planning requirements, while offering our customers something very special.
Linden Homes was recognised for the tremendous amount of care and consideration that went in to designing these family homes, and to be supported by local and reliable suppliers made the job even smoother.
We take great pride in our designs and materials and to enlist the expertise of a company like Stamford Stone to help us achieve the look and feel of these homes was a bonus.

Why natural stone is perfect for a housebuilder
Natural stone is finding a growing market with national housebuilders who want their properties to stand out, as well as blend in. There’s a simple reason for this. Stone adds kerb appeal, saleability and a sense of permanence to new homes. It’s also popular with planning authorities, who increasingly prefer larger developments to complement rather than detract from the surrounding landscape. As a result, the use of natural stone has become increasingly widespread.
Greater aesthetic appeal
The variations in colour and tone of natural limestone make it undeniably appealing as a housebuilding material. Consequently, it blends beautifully with rural environments and brings warmth to urban developments. Natural stone offers practical benefits, too. Known for its durability, it’s also weather resistant, making it perfect for external walls and landscaping.
At Taylor Wimpey, it is very important to us to use companies close to our region for environmental reasons: this helps with transport costs and also positively affects the carbon footprint of our company. Building relationships, as well as houses, also matters to us. We enjoy working with Stamford Stone because they are very friendly, reliable and we can always speak to someone when we need them.

Flexible format to suit every housebuilding project
We expertly saw our beautiful limestone in 4 course heights (65mm, 90mm, 115mm and 140mm) for easy laying. It is cropped at a depth of 110mm for standard wall cavities. We supply it in random lengths for a traditional look. As well as walling stone, you can choose from a range of architectural masonry (quoins, heads, cills) in standard sizes, compatible with course heights. Our team is happy to discuss bespoke requirements and we can offer a fixing service too. Situated in the middle of the Lincolnshire limestone belt, we are perfectly placed to source and supply some of the finest English limestones. We may be biased, but we believe our Clipsham stone rivals Portland, Bath and Cotswold limestone.
